- desdiv 9y agoI think OP's point was that a 20 second blurb, no matter how truthful or accurate, is downplaying the situation. If an analogous event happened in the US, all entertainment programming would be suspended and there would be continuous news coverage on all the major channels for several days, just like after 9/11.
- Neliquat 9y agoThat kind of media did not happen back then. The 1st was really the OJ thing really. By 9/11 it was already in full tilt 24hr news mode with cnn and multiple others churning it out.
- mannykannot 9y ago"One of the reactors is damaged" was a huge understatement that ignored, by omission, the real issue, which was, of course, the massive release of radioactive material.
